Ultimate Doom freezes
h,
i have Doom CE and DLed latest 1.9.0 beta 6.9 and all addons for Doomsday. Ultimate Doom freezes randomly. Sometimes takes minutes to happen, sometimes at the beginning of the 1st level. Doom 2 and Final Doom are OK.
Another strange behavior is the awful tearing. I enabled vsync in the Gl setup of my videocard but still. For example Halo and other games with DX or GL has no tearing. Even Quake GL ports are good. Doomsday and Postal 2 the only games are tearing.
There are no freezes nor tearing on 1.8.6 DX or GL.
Win XP, C2D 2.66, 2GB ram, Intel 950 GMA

As for the other issue, it sounds very much like a well known problem with SDL_mixer.
Once i fired up Ultimate Doom with DirectSound then no freezes,tearing is gone too. Then quit. Loaded Doom 2. Resulting in tearing and freeze in 10 sec. Tearing also back since then...
ps: after freezing i push windows key, esc and things like that then PC restarts in one minute or two. during the "freeze" the music keeps playing (with SDL_mixer) until restart... not even ctrl-alt-del pops up any menu or whatever.
